The Evo magazine YouTube channel brings us this video of the new Pagani Huayra. It’s only a short clip, but in it we get to see inside the car and its dash layout. We also get to see what effect a 700PS V12 has on the pooch you see above.

Official pics of the Pagani Huayra
These official pics of the Pagani Huayra have been published on the Pagani website. Like the Zonda before it the Huayra is not going to win any beauty contests. Yet, at the same time, it’s just as beautiful. In fact, probably more so.
Maybe it’s because this time around Pagani has little left to prove. We now know they are a cottage industry manufacturer that can take it right up to the icons of Ferrari and Lamborghini. And perhaps beyond.
As expected the Huayra is powered by a twin-turbo 6.0 litre V12. Mercedes has once again provided the engine, via its AMG factory. The Huayra has a peak power figure of over 700PS and maximum torque is beyond a massive 1000Nm. With a dry weight of just 1350kg—distributed 44% to front, 56% to the rear—the Huayra is sure to be both frighteningly quick and razor sharp.

UPDATE: The official Huayra press release can be downloaded at the end of this article.

Pagani Huayra – The unofficial teaser
Despite Pagani’s best attempts to string out the reveal of its new supercar, the Huayra, pics of the newest “gullwing” to hit the streets have been published in print and online. The February 2011 issue of Car (Spanish edition) have the Huayra on the cover, with a full story inside.
You can see more after the break. Until official details are revealed later this week, we’re expecting the Huayra to weigh in around 1300–1400kg and to have a 700hp boosted 6.0 V12 to do the huffing and puffing. Should be a real blast!

In the latest C9 teaser video from Pagani the Huayra model name has been confirmed. In fact, the news is revealed by Horacio Pagani himself. Here’s the full transcript of what he had to say:
We wanted to give shape to the wind
An energy, subtle, elegant, yet strong and persistent
In seven years we have carved our latest sculpture
We are Pagani Automobili
Huayra is our wind
You can watch the clip in full after the break. The final reveal of the Huayra is expected by the middle of next week.

Pagani C9 teaser no.3
Pagani has released its third installment in the build up to the launch of the Zonda successor. This clip is titled “The shape of the wind”, which gives credence to the theory the car, codenamed C9, will be called the Huayra (a South American wind).
Not much detail given away here, check out the clip for yourself after the break. There’s two more teasers to go before the car’s launch on 26 January.

Pagani C9 teaser no.2
Pagani has released its second of five teaser videos on the Deus Venti microsite. The clips are promoting the new Zonda replacement, codenamed C9, which we now believe will be called the Huayra. Unlike the first teaser, this one makes sense.
It’s expected we’ll be seeing three more teasers at weekly intervals culminating in a full reveal of the new car.

VIDEO: Autocar drive the Pagani Zonda R
After filming the Cinque Roadster clip you’d reckon Jamie Corstorphine from Autocar would be content. But, no, he wanted more. And more was delivered in the form of the Pagani Zonda R. It is powered by a 750bhp 6.0 V12 and weighs in at a miserly 1075kg. You may also remember this is the car that lapped the Nürburgring in 6 minutes and 47 seconds. Simply astounding! All you need is a spare €1.5 million (AU$2.1m) and some change for the taxman.
Earlier in the week Evo teased us with their concise review of the Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster. But Autocar have delivered the business with a video that perfectly illustrates the beautiful sounds produced by that AMG V12. Just check out the brutal exhaust rorting snap on upshifts!

Five stars
The Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster is sure a very special hypercar, sampled by only a special few. Thankfully, Evo has been kind enough to share their thoughts after spending some time with the car. We’ve only been granted a brief taste of the Cinque Roadster in their online piece, but the outcome seems clear.
“The best Zonda we’ve ever driven, much of the praise actually going to its automated gearbox, not seen on non-Cinque Zondas. The smooth roads we tested the car on suit its lowered, stiffer chassis perfectly – although we know from our previous Cinque encounter that while it looks almost race-car low, it copes remarkably well with less-than-perfect tarmac – and the gearchange is so much better than expected.”

More track focused
The Pagani Zonda R isn’t new, but this clip by Runimation Studios is. And it’s very, very good. To see how this epic farewell Zonda makes the most of its 551kW/709Nm 6.0 litre V12 make sure you take the jump below and turn your sound up to eleven.
